ACU-RITE ENC150 38-52-52-5213 Linear Encoders

ACU-RITE ENC150 38-52-52-5213 Linear Encoder is a high-precision glass-scale linear position sensor used on milling machines, lathes, grinders, EDMs, and metrology equipment to provide accurate incremental feedback on travel along a single axis. In this listing the unit is described as missing the reading head (LNC), so it comprises the scale assembly alone and requires a compatible reading head to function in a system. The ENC150 family uses Position-Trac technology with configurable accuracy; 38-52-AS-RC-LL variants specify 3 µm per meter (Position-Trac 3) or 5 µm per meter options, and logic for output connectors includes MS (6-pin), D-9 differential, or D-9 analogue; measuring-length codes in the LL subset cover from 1 to 90 inches, with longer lengths indicated in other part-number configurations (e.g., up to 120 inches in corresponding codes). The scale is a robust glass element designed for stable, temperature- and humidity-resilient measurements, and is designed to pair with Acu-Rite DROs and control systems for retrofit projects or precision manufacturing, delivering repeatable positioning across a range of machine-tool setups.
